Nope, definitely not standard windows stuff.

I work for german government agencies from time to time and they are working on it... It's just really slow because there is so much of it, and due to organizational overhead. Also, there is not a single push for the entirety of Germany, but some things everyone does for themselves.
Paywalls.
Ah, yeah, same stuff as always. Management.
The licensing part I did think about, but the songs are in a proprietary format anyway (I think?) and any keys or whatever can be refreshed without streaming the entire song over a slow connection.
Thank you for your detailed answer!
Can I ask you why Spotify has this braindead handling of downloaded songs where it still tries to fucking stream them? This goes on my nerves so incredibly much that I'm thinking about quitting my subscription because it's so fucking stupid.
I've downloaded it, Spotify. No you don't have to fucking stream it when I have a bad network connection so the fucking downloaded song constantly cuts off or doesn't even load!!!
Ohhh, really interesting! I'll check that out, thank you very much!
Got one (WF-2810) at our favorite online retailer monopoly and am pretty happy. The software is ugly and in some places unintuitive but works well, and it allows off-brand inks but "warns" you about them. It also prints relatively slowly (compared to printers of other people) but it really isn't bad and I've had the current cartridges in for the past two years and they still work perfectly after a quick (automatic) refresh. The scanner is ridiculously slow though - I don't mind but I can imagine it annoying some.
Can recommend if you don't print a lot or something!
Because there are administrative tasks to be done in the back office.
Lemmy is a collection of mostly contrarians who feel superior, it really isn't better than this for the most part.
If everyone keeps expecting everything for free there will never be competition :)
While generally I'd agree with you, these apps are engineered to exploit human weaknesses to make a few people money and have real and measurable effects on the human psyche. From reduced attention spans due to short form or dense content, to problems with self-worth, these apps are literally bad for you if you engage with them a lot - which, again, they are engineered to get you to do. They are completely manipulative and not "just another fun thing".
You can also have fun by reading a book. Or making something. Or going out.
